As you can see, we don't do a lot of warm-weather vacations! I did, however, manage to trick him into going on a Caribbean cruise somewhere in there. And we've been fortunate to have a few Las Vegas warm-weather-cations. He's pretty awesome!

In other news, I received my Spoonflower charm squares in the mail! Thanks to AnneMarie for organizing this swap.

Oh, do I have plans for these... Actually, I don't have any plans just yet, but these will be fun to throw into patchwork projects here and there. :)And here are a few crafty links from around the Web:About Family Crafts:Learn how you can make back to school fun with all of these crafts and activities.
